Jingle Bells Xmas Tree Farm, Part 2 of Small Farms

O, Christmas Tree! This is the second design in the "Small Farm Series". At the top of the sampler, you’ll see a log cabin covered with sparkling lights and glowing windows, a myriad of different trees, cardinals flying hither and yon are all part of the charm. The chickadees perch in the birch trees, as the sleigh bells ring, are you listening!? Parts of this design can be stitched separately and can be used in many different ways. Just like in the Ravenhill farm Cross Stitched scenes, the top and bottom scenes are both wonderful as stand-alone designs, perhaps adding words using a petit alphabet to spell out Merry Christmas, or My heart is home for Christmas. The wee trees are so suitable for that special “Christmas Memory Book” or stitched up quickly for your homemade Christmas Cards. Many motifs can easily be stitched into Christmas Ornaments or Gift Bags. You can make the lower part of this sampler into a stocking!
